The Access to Leeds scheme allows us to identify students who have the potential to succeed at the university but who may not be able to demonstrate their talents through grades alone.  Eligible applicants who receive an offer from the University also receive an Access to Leeds offer up to two A level grades (or equivalent) below their standard offer. For example, AAA is reduced to ABB.

The Access to Leeds alternative offer is conditional on the applicant making the University of Leeds their firm choice and successfully completing the Access to Leeds module. This module focuses on the development of essential study skills and provides an opportunity to complete work for the academic department the student hopes to study with.
